February

We began the month of February getting used to living in a very small living space with only the most essential of our stuff. We lived without internet for a few weeks, which was a bigger deal than maybe it should've been. We tried to take Molly to dog parks more because we no longer have a large yard for her to run around. Molly and Willow took awhile to get used to sharing space more. We started hanging out with Jerry and his kids Brandon and Elena fairly often; Willow has really enjoyed her time with them and it has been interesting to see her form attachments to other kids. We had fun making Valentine's Day cookies, and Andy and Mandy spent the romantic evening together without Willow. We also took Willow to play in the mall, and she enjoyed a few "playdates" with some other children, including an evening with our good friends Sheryl, Ashton, and Sesily. After watching several nights of ice skating for the Olympics, Willow became interested in ice skating around our house.
